No, she has no support boats or helicopters. If she sinks automatic beacons go off but then they have to get to her. She gets about an hour's sleep on a night. She has to climb 30ft of mast in mountainous seas. It's been freezing cold, she's in living quarters the size of a cubby hole and she's cut and bruised.

True about the communication aspect though.

Yay Ellen.

I know you shouldnt believe everything you read in the papers but i read the other day she always has 2 rescue boats within 25 miles.

:lol: @ N8

TBH I'd rather cheer on someone who has beaten cancer, or someone who is doing something ro raise money for charity, i.e Jane Tomlinson, raising money for cancer despite being terminally ill herself.

Am I right in saying that Ellen McCarthur has been given a hefty sponsorship sum for doing her travels? Is any of it going to a good cause? :roll:

Jane Tomlinson's amazing. She's just got over the million-pounds-raised mark.

exactly that chewie. Ellen if you're reading from your laptop then there is your next challenge :lol:
 
She needs a good shxg.

And a wash..

I bet she has fun on those lonely night with nothing but a slippery fish and a big tub of neutrogena for company. :P
 
PMSL @ this thread :lol: :lol:
She has done the most annoying advert known to man for the Debyshire, she A) talks monosyllabically and cant act for peanuts
B) "when travelling round the world stops- thats whats not fair, the derbyshire really knows what's fair" WTF?!?! That doesnt even make sense! :evil:
C) who can take someone who has a pudding basin haircut seriously?! Maybe they should ship out a restyle makeover team instead of rescue boats- that could be comedy with trinny and susanne being knocked about in 50ft waves....if only... :D
 
for those of you that give a shit she's finished.

and for some reason is going to be made a Dame. :roll:

btw: she referred to the helicopters in her speech. ;)

and she repeatedly says "We..." Is she talking about her and her boat?
 
She did it then ? :D Nice one !


She wasnt beaten by the err ... no, I'll not go there ...
 
Clearly no one likes the silly wench do they? :lol:
I know nothing about her but have also taken a dislike - do I need a reason?
Hideous woman.
 
Ah well what a shame for all you doubters and haters.... :lol:

She has achieved, experienced, endured, conqured and overcome more in the last 71 days than any of you ever have or will in your entire lives.

A BBC poll of over 43,000 people has shown that the majority think she is the greatest British sportswoman ever.
 
Aww I'm not a hater ...

To be honest ... Can you even begin to imagine what she has gone through? All that cold .. lack of sleep ..... rain ... never being really warm and cozy .. never being able to just snuggle up and go sleep whenever you want to ... Not my idea of fun !
 
a pic almost as flattering as Chewie's. :D
